This STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXMP1B437, is designed for knotless soft tissue closure in veterinary and surgical environments where extended tensile support and predictable absorption are required. Manufactured from polydioxanone with antibacterial coating, this absorbable barbed suture helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides fine tensile performance suitable for precise soft tissue approximation. The undyed monofilament construction supports smooth tissue passage, while the spiral barbed design distributes tension evenly along the wound without the need for knots.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, offering extended working reach in animal health and soft tissue procedures. Supplied with a 26 mm SH taper point needle, this configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue while maintaining secure engagement along the barbed strand.

STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus provides extended tensile strength retention with gradual absorption occurring over approximately 182–238 days. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is suitable for professional veterinary and surgical environments requiring long-lasting absorbable antibacterial knotless closure.
